Providing a personalized user experience that encourages consumers to browse
and buy requires rich, interactive content and applications that are generated
dynamically. However, richer content slows page downloads and can even lead
to site abandonment. Akamai Dynamic Site Accelerator gives you performance
that is up to five times faster than your original Web infrastructure and handles
the specific requirements of dynamically-generated content—without a costly
hardware buildout.
Web Performance Impacts Online Business. Does Your Site Deliver?
As consumers and enterprises turn increasingly to the Web as a primary business
channel, the expectations for speed and interactivity grow. While dynamically-
generated content offers an unprecedented opportunity to engage with
consumers, rendering pages on the fly can lead to delays and even failures in
delivering content, causing online customers to simply walk away.
To meet consumer expectations, your Web site must provide superior
performance for every user. It needs to handle high traffic loads during peak
usage periods and provide 24x7 availability. And to inform business decisions,
it must also provide intelligence on usage and visitors. Akamai Dynamic Site
Accelerator speeds and secures your highly interactive Web site, and provides
increased visibility into online activity—without requiring an infrastructure
investment to support the increased load of richer content.

Akamai Dynamic Site Accelerator EnterpriseDynamic, Personalized Web Site—Up to Five Times Faster
The globally-distributed Akamai Platform continuously pulls and caches fresh content onto servers that are closer to the end user. Our dynamic mapping system directs user requests for application content to an optimal Akamai edge server, depending on their location and transaction type. Then, through route optimization we identify the fastest, most reliable pathback to your data center to retrieve dynamic/interactive content. We use several connection techniques to improve communications between the Akamai edge server and your origin infrastructure to deliver dynamic content to the user over connections that avoid Internet problem spots.
To provide security, content protected by access controls can be delivered securely and rapidly from Akamai’s servers. Information that is protected by the SSL protocol is delivered from a dedicated, highly secure portion of the Akamai Platform.
More than 2,700 businesses trust Akamai to distribute and accelerate their Web content,applications and business processes, including 39 of the top 50 online retailers. Our solutions leverage the Akamai Platform—a network of more than 27,000 secure servers equipped with proprietary software and deployed in 71 countries. Akamai delivers tens of billions of online interactions daily.
